    FM: KAZAKHSTAN URGES TO ENHANCE INTERNATIONAL INVOLVEMENT IN RESOLVING NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT

    Azerbaijan

    Kazakhstan supports the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group and governments
    of Azerbaijan and Armenia to find the peaceful settlement in the
    Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Kazakh Foreign Minister Yerzhan Kazykhanov
    said at the OSCE Ministerial Council's meeting in Vilnius, the
    organization's website reported.

    "We pay special emphasis on the need to enhance cooperation of the
    participants of negotiations, international institutions and mediators
    in the context of transnational threats," he said.

    The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
    when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
    armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
    including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.

    Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994.

    The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. -
    are currently holding the peace negotiations.

    Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four
    resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the
    surrounding regions.
